Is a two headed nickel with one side minted in one year and the other minted in a different year a novelty item?

Yes, this is a privately made novelty item available in most magic shops or on ebay.com for a couple dollars. It's made by altering two normal coins and gluing the pieces back together. If you use a strong magnifier, you can probably find a seam just inside the raised rim on one side of the coin or the other. Please note that this question has been asked many times about many dates and denominations. Probably 99.9999% of all such coins are novelties created as described in the previous answer.

How do you use apostrophes with capital letters and or numbers?

Apostrophes are used to indicate that an expression is a contraction (that is, some sounds are left out when the words are said) but not abbreviations, which are indicated by periods. They are also used to indicate possession (at a long-forgotten time these were contractions also). Where a word in written all in caps or including a number (including dates and names which are spelled this way), apostrophes are used in exactly the same way. Examples follow:

Contractions: "I think 2020's going to be an exciting year." "NASA'll be doing less now their budget has been cut."

Posessives: "Experts agree that 1976's fashions were the ugliest ever." "That's the FBI's jurisdiction."

Why would the Windows and moon roof open when the car is locked and no one around on a 2001 Lexus ES 300?

It's cross-talk: someone in the area used a remote signal for his car and activated yours.

I had the same problem, returning to my car in a mall parking lot to find my moon-

roof and all four windows open on my 99 Lexus gs.

you can have a knowlegible mechanic disable your windows' ability to respond to

remote signals -- i never used that feature anyhow.

good luck

Actually, I had the exact same problem and there was a Lexus in the vacinity both times. However, there was a second intervening event. I had inadvertenly left my driver side window open in the rain (a half inch) and the door/window controls got wet. My mechanic had never heard of a car that had the ability to close all windows/moon roof when locking the doors so he thought it was the BRAIN of the car. (Wrong) I bought a 25$ car cover and the problem disappeared for a year. Then I was in my parking lot at work and it happened one more time. (After it had rained the night before.) But there was also a Lexus in the area (however both of these cars are in the area everyday and the only other thing was the damness on the driver side window buttons.) I think they just got shorted out when wet and started working fine when they dried and the Lexus' in the area was a coincidence. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Why would an organization choose to sell an asset and then lease it back?

They would sell the asset to provide them with capital.Once the asset is sold they don't have any of the overheads associated with the asset so less costs and also they will increase there capital budget. It is then common to lease the asset back as this retains the asset's usage.

Common example is pubs, brewery's in recent years have sold assets such as a pub to create capital that can be invested elsewhere and then they lease the pub back without any of the overhead costs.its basically a paper excercise to make organisations look more attractive.

How do you play ShowHand?

ShowHand is essentially 5 card stud played mainly in China and Hong Kong. A major variation is the order in which third street and later cards are dealt, where the player with the strongest hand showing is dealt first, and also first to act. On fifth street the player with the strongest potential hand showing (ie. 4 clubs 'represents' a flush) is first to act. The only other variation is the strength of the A2345 straight and straight flush, which is considered the highest possible straight and straight flush respectively. A player announces Showhand when the player is all in. While this variation of 5 card stud is still played in Asia today, 5 card stud has declined in the western world where it has been replaced by 7 card stud and Texas Hold'em.

First, the prophet Amos, who was born in Tekoa(ten miles south of Jerusalem). The Bible tells us that he was a sheep raiser and 'nipper of figs', and that he was NOT the 'son of a prophet', but that's all it says of his early life.(Amos 7:14)(Amos 1:1) His father is not mentioned.
